Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev was presented with a sculpture of prominent statesman and public figure Aziz Aliyev, which was once in his office.

APA reports that the sculpture was presented today by the head of the Republic of Dagestan of the Russian Federation Sergey Malikov.

It was noted that Aziz Aliyev, during the leadership of Dagestan in 1942-1948, prevented the deportation planned against the people of Dagestan, like other Caucasian peoples.

Therefore, on behalf of the elders of Dagestan, he was presented with a sculpture depicting a rider with a child in his arms.

This work will be in the office of President Ilham Aliyev from now on.
